KTM 390 Adventure Launches At Rs 2.99 Lakh in India
India was looking forward to the KTM 390 Adventure - a bike rumored
to be in the works for a long time. KTM unveiled the baby ADV at India Bike
Week in December 2019, and we now have a price for it.
The KTM 390 Adventure is based on the Duke 390 and is
inspired from the KTM's Dakar rally bikes. The India-spec model misses out on
adjustable front forks but suspension travel is 170 mm upfront.
The engine is the same as the one that does duty on the Duke
390, a 373.2cc single that churns out 43. All of this is mated to a six-speed
transmission. The bike also gets a larger 14.5-litre fuel tank for longer
stretches on the road.

The 390 Adventure also gets some first-in-class features.
The electronic aids that KTM offers on this bike were
initially left for bikes in the superbike or liter-class category but have
since trickled down to mid-performance bikes.
The 390 Adventure gets lean-sensitive traction control,
cornering ABS and off-road ABS. All of this is switchable. The bike also gets a
bi-directional quick-shifter for clutch fewer gear changes.
Instrumentation, like the 390 Duke, is a full-color TFT dash
with Bluetooth connectivity. Turn-by-turn navigation is available as an option
on the ADV.
The bike, unlike most bikes in this price segment, gets an
adjustable fly-screen. The footers too, get a toothed design for better grip in
the dirt and while standing up. There is also a 12v power socket for different
charging necessities.

The 390 Adventure has been launched at a price of Rs 2.99
lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Bookings for the bike have started and it goes up
against the likes of the Royal Enfield Himalayan which has been slightly
updated very recently and the BMW G310 GS. Get access to India's fastest-growing financial subscriptions service Money control Pro for as little as Rs
599 for first year.
